Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Happy 4th of July weekend! I know it's a day after, but I think a lot of people are celebrating the entire weekend so I still consider today as part of the holiday. :) This is why I chose this particular code word for our new challenge at Addicted to CAS, where I am the hostess this week:

All I can think of right now is fireworks, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do! Never mind the fact that I woke up at 7:00 yesterday morning and realized I only had about an hour of time to make my card AND blog it before we got busy for the rest of the weekend! YIKES! This is why I love CAS challenges. lol

I used The Friday Mashup challenge to do a waterwash CAS card and the colors from colourQ on my card.
Exactly what I was looking for for my card! I love it when things come together just as you had envisioned. :)

I just love the new Flower Patch stamp set. It's photopolymer so you can see exactly where you are stamping and it has a coordinating framelit set. If you stamp the images on a piercing mat the images turn out perfect every time! I thought this particular flower could double as fireworks and they turned out pretty good! I added a bit of silver Dazzling Details and some rhinestones to add to the firework effect.

Thanks for stopping by. Make sure to stop by the rest of the design team, as well as our guest designer, Cathy. She has a beautiful card to share with us this week!

Happy 4th of July weekend Shana - hope you are having a good time! I wish I could make a card as quickly as you do - it takes me days rather than minutes!!!! The end result is fabulous - love the fireworks in the sky, and your colouring is fab, Thanks for a brilliant Code Word!Sylvia x
